Overview & Reviews

New colors spruce up the outside, and all Cougars get the formerly optional Convenience Group (cruise, remote keyless illuminated entry and rear wiper/washer) as standard equipment. Evidently, the Zn (Zinc Yellow) feature car from 2001 failed to get buyers' pulses up, so Mercury tries again for 2002 with the XR package, which includes special red or black paint, a rear spoiler, a fake hood scoop and special logos. The Cougar C2 feature vehicle makes a return engagement for 2002. Sadly, the shelved Cougar S never materialized.

• Unique styling, well-tuned suspension, large cargo area.

  FRONT ROTORS PROBLEM - 2002 Mercury Cougar
  By Steve Masch - November 16 - 10:00 am

  I drove the Cougar over 90K miles. Automatic transmission, still averaging 23.5 Miles per gallong. I usually cruise at 85-90 Miles per Hour. The car is still driving strong but it was not built as well as I thought and it started to fall apart. Minor things for the most but the biggest problem has been the FRONT ROTORS that KEEP ON WORPING. I do drive quite aggressively and brake accordingly but I had to bring the car back for rotors replacements twice and had them substituted twice till I decided to shallow out a few hundreds for high performance parts. The sunroot too is easily damageable, twice I had to have it fixed.

  My New 2002 Mercury Cougar, V6 Base - 2002 Mercury Cougar
  By garym1j - October 10 - 10:00 am

  I just traded a 2000, with 29,200 miles, for a 2002, same color, base model V6. The 2000 was a sports model with the big tires which I found a little noisy with a rough ride. The 2002 base model has smaller tires which are very quiet with a smoother ride. The stereo system in the 2002 model I bought is very much improved with disc and tape. I can even hear it now due the the reduced road noise. I bought the car to refresh the warranty and enhance trouble free driving.

  Love and hate relationship - 2002 Mercury Cougar
  By C Rush - July 7 - 10:00 am

  I love driving the car and the look, but the car has a major fuel pump problem which is common in these Cougars. It had to be replaced twice on mine, and I also had a sensor go out very early on. The features are all great, but I hate having a problem every couple of months.

  Love the car!!!! - 2002 Mercury Cougar
  By Lauren - May 26 - 1:43 am

  I have loved this car since I bought it back in 2006. I dont treat the car very well but it has been tough. Its VERY comfortable. I could go on and on about things I love about this car.

  Very pleased - 2002 Mercury Cougar
  By Jessica - February 20 - 12:20 am

  I seem to have a different view than most people here. I have a 2002 Anniversary edition and absolutely love it. I have had no problems and have put 8k miles on it making a grand total of 51k. I dont know if its too soon to talk but it handles great, is a comfortable and quiet ride on the interstate, and gets great gas mileage (after driving 250 miles at 75 mph I have half a tank left). For a 2dr car the back seat is very roomy and comfortable except it does not seat very tall people well.

  Fun Ride, Reasonable Price, Enuff luxury - 2002 Mercury Cougar
  By AnarchusTheElder - November 2 - 10:00 am

  At 51 years old, I needed a fun car that wouldnt make it impossible to send my kids to college. I did a lot of research and the Merc Cougar came out on top. Not the fastest or most prestigious, but, to me, the best toy for the $$. V6, 24 valves, full power, perfect fit for my 57" frame. All this with 30mpg on the open road. It corners better than any of my other cars, and makes me feel like I am in control.

  "The only car I want to drive" - 2002 Mercury Cougar
  By Cougar for life - September 10 - 10:00 am

  I previously owned a 1999 cougar which was my first car when I was a junior in high school, but I was foolish and traded that car in when it had 46000 miles on it. Now, I am a sophmore in college and I recently purchased a 2002 cougar. This one is the Ultimate version. Both of my cougars have been excellent cars. The minute I get into them I get a feeling like the car was made specifically for me. That is probably the best thing about the car. What else can I say? I havent had any problems with either of the cougars Ive owned.
